I have just completed a week of summer art camp with the most creative, enthusiastic group of kids imaginable. I provide the inspiration and the opportunity and they run with it to places that I couldn't predict. This week we focused on animals. I always incorporate use of natural materials and look what they did with the bark that had fallen off the trees in the park!! They are gorgeous.

I have 2 more weeks of camp each with a different theme. One will focus on the intersection between Science and Art, a very exciting program. Check them out if your child is free in August. www.theart-process.com.

In the meantime, enjoy whatever summer plans you have. And sometimes, no plans are the best!! Our lives are so programmed...
